All 3,985 casino addresses were added to blocking registers by Ukraine’s gambling regulator PlayCity and the National Center for Operational and Technical Management of Telecommunications Networks, known as NCU.
At least 1,015 addresses were mirrors of 1Win, about a quarter of the casino addresses blocked that month. GetX had 319 addresses, and the two brands together accounted for more than a third of the casino list.
The review also identified numerous mirror addresses associated with Jetton, Riobet, Bounty Casino and Friends Casino.
UABlockList found sites unrelated to gambling among the addresses classified as illegal casinos. They included cryptocurrency service bitcoin.com, domain sales platform HugeDomains and the website of a French trading company named Casino.
Ukrainian pizza business Crazy Pizza, bookstore AK Books and Fashion Blog also appeared on the lists. UABlockList did not explain why those resources were included.
Access was restored to 7 addresses during the month, including 3 gambling resources unblocked at the request of Ukraine’s Bureau of Economic Security. The others were Cloudflare Pages and the domains br.com, cn.com and com.de; the decision did not state why the restrictions were lifted.
